BLOG POST #1: READING IS EVERYTHING! Feb.20, 2018
Today I want to share a piece of really valuable information with you. There is an author who has changed my life and has played a key role in shaping the person I am today. It is crazy to think that one person whom I have never met, with a series of books, can have such an incredible impact on my life, right?! I picked up my first self-development book at the local public library (back when checking out books was a thing) seven years ago. I was in shock and awe discovering how I had been living a life thoughtlessly following social norms, and never questioning myself and others. Expecting to advance and be so called “fulfilled” but never actually having the blueprint or guidance to do so. I have been addicted ever since.
My first self-development book was, Awaken the Giant Within, by Tony Robbins. If you haven’t heard of Tony Robbins first off, welcome. He is amazing, and you’ve been missing out, but it is never too late to begin the journey. Tony gives off this comforting father like vibe while giving you a big dose of much needed reality and an actual path to a better life. He has touched millions of people’s lives, and is a true legacy and gift to the world. He literally will have you breaking down your own life and then have you making a plan of action. Tony knows what it takes to massively change lives, and he has been at it for decades. Attending one of Tony's seminars is definitely on my bucket list.
Reading the right books will change your life. Period. Go ahead, put down the remote and stop scrolling through your social feed and instead pick up an empowering book for a little while. I don’t want this to be overwhelming, so let’s just start here. You can also purchase these books in an audio version If you feel as if you don’t have the time to sit and read, just download the audio book through Audibles (I have posted the link below with 2 free downloads!) and listen while you are going to work, on your lunch break, at the gym, grocery shopping, etc… The possibilities are endless. Why am I so passionate about this? Because it's fire, so pick it up! Awaken the Giant Within, by Tony Robbins, or Unleash the Power Within, by Tony Robbins. Both are phenomenal starter books and will have you questioning yourself (in the best way), which is the first step on the path of creating a more meaningful and enjoyable life. Scroll to the bottom of the page to find the link to the books. I have made this super easy for ya!
Disclaimer: please don’t ever think that working on yourself is selfish or that it isn’t possible to be glam and beautiful on the outside while smart and confident on the inside. This is truly possible, and they pair well together. The reason that you don’t see it all around is because people would rather spend more time on the exterior rather than the interior, not knowing that the exterior beauty partially comes from the interior beauty. Both can and should be worked on simultaneously. I strongly believe when showing up you should look good. Good as in confident and well dressed. With that being said...Let’s get to know that beautiful soul of yours starting today. Thanks for reading my 1st blog post, it means the world to me. :)
Be humble yet relentless on the path to a better you; inside and out.
XOXO,
